Kentucky Wildcats

Here comes Kentucky. The ‘Cats have won seven in a row, including a big win over Kansas last weekend. But really, UK has been great for longer than this recent winning streak.

Take away that first game of the season, a blowout loss to Duke, and Kentucky has gone 17–2 with the only two losses a one-point loss against Seton Hall on a neutral floor and a two-point loss at Alabama.

They are winning by an average of 13 points per game. UK won on a neutral floor by eight over North Carolina, at Louisville by 13, at Georgia, at Auburn and, most recently, at Vanderbilt by 35.

Of course, the Wildcats also beat Kansas by eight a week ago. Kansas scored the only seven bench points in the game but UK got 20 from PJ Washington and double-doubles by three different players, out-rebounding Kansas, 47–35.

Florida Gators

On the same day Kentucky took down Kansas, Florida lost a close, low-scoring game at TCU, 55–50. The Gators bounced back with an overtime win over Mississippi in the Swamp this week.

Senior guard KeVaughn Allen scored 21 but went just 1-for-7 from three-point range. He peaked as a sophomore but has returned close to his numbers that season, when he averaged 14 points on 37 percent from three.

This season, he’s getting 13.2 on 37.3 percent from three but just 48.8 percent from two, down from about 52 as as sophomore. He once looked like a promising pro prospect but his stagnation as an upperclassmen has probably taken him out of the running for an NBA spot.

This will be a challenge for Kentucky to get an eighth consecutive win. The ‘Cats are up to the challenge and may not be laying many points in the Swamp.
